04 From the Group Chat

the bois ⛳ (4)

Tommy

Snedeker just made Jackson Koivun a Presidents Cup player. kid has been a pro for like five months

Dave

five months and he already beat Scottie at the 3M. I have been playing 20 years and my club champ run ended in the quarters

JJ Spaun went 2 for 3 at the Ryder Cup and got LEFT HOME. Cantlay got 1.5 points from FIVE matches and he is in. make it make sense

Tommy

Snedeker said it himself. it is not fair to a lot of these guys. then he picked the rookies anyway. trust your gut he says

Medinah. Sept 24. Snedeker vs Ogilvy. and HALF of you said Tiger money hit different in 1999. wait till you see the kid on that first tee

The picks, as covered by the group chat

dramatization. barely.

05 Moment of the Week

Young Team USA golfer walking the course

Jackson Koivun, pro golfer for barely five months, is officially a Presidents Cup player. Youngest man in the Medinah locker room, and he has already beaten Scottie head to head. 🦅

Captain Snedeker took Koivun and fellow rookies Chris Gotterup and Jacob Bridgeman, which means JJ Spaun and Ben Griffin stay home despite outplaying half the room at the Ryder Cup. Snedeker called it himself: not fair, trust your gut. Medinah, Sept 24 to 27. The arguments start now.

06 Caddie's Hot Take

Scottie just passed Tiger as the all time money leader. Your honest reaction?

Last week Scottie took the all time money crown. You were not all impressed.

50%Tiger's money hit different in 1999

30%Wake me when he has 15 majors

20%Greatness is greatness. Bow down

Verdict: 80% of you looked at the greatest run of this era and said, essentially, prove it. Tiger poisoned you all and we respect it. Scottie's response will presumably be winning the Presidents Cup by himself. Again. ⛳ This week's argument is below 👇
